FLORENCE – An unfounded bomb threat led to the evacuation of Florence High School today, officials said.

A note that indicated there was a bomb in the school was found in a classroom this morning, said Joel Bewley, spokesman for the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office.

It was reported to the township police department around 11:15 a.m., and the school was evacuated immediately, Bewley said in a statement. The township sent out an emergency alert announcing that the road in front of the high school was shut down.

The school was searched by police officers and police dogs, Bewley said, and no bomb was found in the building.
